Kildalkey residents Katarina and Jim Antill, officially opened their company's new premises in Trim with 10 employment opportunities to become available.

Minister of State for Business, Employment and Retail Neale Richmond TD officially opened the new office space of life science technology company, Bonafi today (17th November).

The easy access to local amenities and transportation links was one of the reasons for the choosing of their new office in Trim: "The space has been designed with our team's needs in mind, providing a modern and collaborative environment that encourages creativity and innovation."

With a current team of seven in Meath and a global footprint extending to Sweden, Spain, and Bulgaria, Bonafi aims to further expand its workforce with 10 additional hires in Meath over the next 12 months.

Speaking at the event Minister Neale Richmond said: “Launching a high-potential start up in Meath, particularly one in the regtech sector, allows for access to a wide pool of talented workers, but also supports the local economy. Today’s announcement is good for Meath, good for the Mid-East, and good for the regtech sector. I am sure that Bonafi will pave the way for other companies to launch here in Meath as well.”

CEO and Founder Katarina Antill said: “Today marks a milestone for Bonafi. Our product launch, the opening of the Trim office and the enhanced leadership team underscore our resolve to set the gold standard in the industry. We’re grateful for the trust our investors have placed in us and excited about the opportunities ahead.“

Founded by Katarina in 2018, the company's goal is to reshape the way the pharmaceutical industry approach Customer and Supplier qualifications: "We’re not just providing a tool; we’re setting a new standard for Customer and Supplier GxP management in the pharmaceutical space."
